Description
We used alpha-spectrometry (238Pu, 239,240Pu, 241Am) and inductively coupled plasma sector field mass spectrometry (ICP-SFMS) (239Pu, 240Pu, 241Am, 237Np) for the determination of anthropogenic radionuclides. In order to reduce analysis time and consumption of chemicals a rapid and reliable sequential separation method has been developed. The method involves co-precipitation as pre-concentration step and application of tandem extraction chromatography (UTEVA and TRU resins) separations. The method was employed for determination of actinides in different type of environmental samples, e.g., natural water, soil and sediment. The analytical figures of merit of alpha spectrometry and ICP-SFMS analysis are compared and advantages and disadvantages of both methods are critically discussed
